Jealous Guy

Jealous Guy Lyrics

[Mase]
You know, there's a lot of jealous guys in this town
And many other towns I go to, (ah yeah)
But I'm afraid right now I'm so hurt
I'mma need 112 and Puff, to help me explain how I feel
So come on fellas, help me out

[Puff]
I go by the name Puff Daddy
And I'm a Scorpio, check this out
Girl I really hope you find a new lover
Cuz Mase can't take no more of you fuckin' him and his brotha, ut uh
And girl what make you think you could do what you do
And think that we'll be standing here fighting over you, come on
When I came and told him the deal
He wouldn't admit how he feel
Now he know his girl love me
Why can't he just let it be (just let it be)

Repeat 1
Repeat 1

[Puff Daddy]
As I said before, I go by the name of Puffy Daddy
And I'm a Scorpio and I'm not a jealous guy
Come on sing for me Mase

[Mase]
I just really wanna come and let you know
Girl you just got to let them go
Cuz there jealous guys, jealous guys, in our town
And it's gonna show ,love is gonna show
It's gonna show, oh baby it's gonna show, oh oh
It's gonna show, it's gon', it's gon', it's gonna show
And you is a jealous guy in our town
In our town, in our town
Oh baby, oh yeah, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
Well, well, well, well, well, well
Well, well, well, well, well
Where do you go when there's jealous guys in our town

[Puff Daddy]
Now that's the end of our discussion
To all the player haters and player hatetts
Mase, Harlem World, Puff Daddy and 112
Telling you to be a lover and not a hater, you'll get further in life
May God bless you and good night

About “Jealous Guy”

Throughout the song, Puffy and Ma$e play up their bad singing voices for comedic effect. The backing track for the song is nearly identical to the original, adding to the karaoke aesthetic.

While New Edition’s original song was a rebuke of a stalker ex-girlfriend, the Bad Boy team’s remake takes aim at player haters—or more specifically, men who get mad after Puffy and Ma$e have sex with their girlfriends. Chill out, guys!

In 1997, the idea of rappers singing was not widely accepted in hip-hop, but doing so ironically was considered funny, especially when used to sing about topics that were traditionally too crude for R&B.

Ten years after “Jealous Guy,” Puffy decided to earnestly try his hand at singing with his 2007 song “Last Night” (which peaked at #10 on Billboard’s Hot 100), as well as several songs on his 2009 album Last Train To Paris.
